On July 4 General David Petraeus assumed command of 142,000 U.S. and NATO troops in a ceremony in the Afghan capital of Kabul. He succeeded the disgraced and soon to be retired General Stanley McChrystal as chief of all foreign troops in Afghanistan, those serving under U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A)/Operation Enduring Freedom and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
He now commands military units from…

By Stephen Lendman

Europe in particular, there exists is a momentum towards greater unification; the European Union (EU) has evolved from the European Economic…

A Dutch Radical Speaks His Piece and I Agree
For many years now a Dutch radical has been sending me his thoughts on
sundry subjects. I'm sending you his thought for today. His control of
English is not perfect, and it sometimes produces odd sentences and
unusual word usage. I just ignore these oddities and focus on the core
of his messages. Take the first sentence of the appended selection.
The 'is' is a brief form of…

GULF OF MEXICO (The Borowitz Report) – At a time when many thought that news out of the Gulf of Mexico couldn’t get any worse, BP announced today that the oil in the Gulf needs to be changed every six months.
“The oil will need to be changed every six months or every 15,000 lies,” said the BP spokesman. “Whatever comes sooner.”
The announcement about the oil change came on the heels of BP’s decision earlier in the week to separate the Gulf into two sections, full-serve and…

The 4th of July is a mixed experience for veterans. While it is often looked at as a day to honor us, we often can be found indoors while civilians are out enjoying the fireworks.

Ryan is a musician and an organizer with the Civilian Soldier Alliance, IVAW's main organizing partner in our GI and Veterans Bill of Rights Campaign. He is based in Baltimore, Maryland.…

Obama Is Pathologically Inclined Toward Maximizing His Power
It seems as though every few weeks in every way there are more reasons
why Obama should be impeached. The following news clip is just one
more reason why this man should be stopped cold and removed from
office. I've repeatedly said he suffers from megalomania. I was and am
dead serious. The following CNN news clip is a prime example of his
power madness. These…

Most important thought: I'm sick and tired of this thing called "patriotism".

How Much Oil Has BP
Drilled Into? Try THIS On...
From Richard Wilcox
7-4-10
Mount Everest has a volume of approximately 365 cubic miles from sea level to the summit.
A cubic mile would hold 1.101117147 10 to the 12th gallons of liquid.
Thus: 11,011,171,470,000 gallons x 365 = 4,019,077,586,550,000

50 Statistics About The U.S. Economy That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe
Most Americans know that the U.S. economy is in bad shape, but what most Americans don't know is how truly desperate the financial situation of the United States really is. The truth is that what we are experiencing is not simply a "downturn" or a "recession". What we are witnessing is the beginning of the end for the greatest economic machine that the world has ever seen. Our greed and our debt are literally eating…

On July 4th, 1776, the Continental Congress announced that the 13 colonies were no longer subjects to King George. The resulting Declaration of Independence is one of most sacred texts in the History of the World. It truly is a revolutionary document that reverses the age old doctrine that citizens exist to serve the needs of the monarch, or state. Instead, it boldly states that Monarchs and governments exist to serve the people. When governments no longer do so, it is the right of the people…

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the
brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to
gather at one time in the White House with the exception of
when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
When we get piled
upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as…

Is It Time for the House to Start an Impeachment Inquiry?
I believe this is so and am willing to accept the belief that I am
quite mad. Impeachment is a sad thought to have on this holiday, but
it's my transcendent thought during this time of crisis for our country.
As you read the chosen item for today, keep in mind that there has be
wide and deep coordination between the Obama White House and the

Americans Have No Rights
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
July 2, 2010
Under Barack Obama, the former professor of constitutional law, Americans’ civil liberties have shrunken drastically – to the point that his administration claims the right to execute its citizens without charge or due process of any recognizable kind. And citizens that leave the country cannot be sure they will be allowed back in. But where is the outrage…

Obama is determined to not only continue drilling in the Gulf, I'm
sure he has not retreated one inch on his plans to okay massive deep
sea drilling along the East Coast. This could eventually end up
destroying the Atlantic Ocean. Folks in states bordering the Atlantic
are becoming quite edgy. Some folks over yonder are starting to wonder
if Obama is running on all cylinders.
The current Gulf situation already is posing…
